native player pausing randomly

[sk8trix]

I have had my Atrix for about two months and have had this issue since the first few days.
My battery is set to performance
music and file apps and many other apps are on my ignore list on my task manager so they are not killed.
I dont know what other things to do,I start and it plays halfway through the song and pauses,some times it plays perfectly without stopping so its just certain times of the day it will do it.

Does anyone have any sugestions as I believe it to be a software issue I even went in and cleared the App data and it didnt fix my issue,also mounted and unmounted the sd card and even physically removed it but no luck,some advice would be appreciated.

Just a thought...have you tried different battery settings?

If that doesn't work, you still have the Market sounds like you don't want to give up the default player cause i'm sure you would have already gotten a different app...

Haha yeah maybe ill go with another player...also do you guys know a free alternative to root explorer?

....maybe ill go with another player....

Myself, I'd run, in a heartbeat, to either CoreCodec(my favorite from Palm OS) or VLC, if they would only finish working on their Android version.

Try PowerAmp, really awesome player with lots of costumisation options and excellent equalizer....... combined with monster turbines in-ear speakers I couldnt be more happier...

Will check it out and see how it works for me.

I switched from the stock player to this about a week ago. So far so good. THe stock player just seems too bloaty for its own good.

yep its really great, I gave it a try for a day and then bought it. btw, Atrix does produce really good sound if proper player and good headphones used...

any ideas on a completely free music player that is up there with power amp? trying to save some cash...

I've been happy with the Amazon mp3 app/player. I do use PowerAmp now, but the amazon one is just fine for playback and such. Maybe checkout Winamp too, that is another great free one with a bit more options than the amazon one.

I just installed winamp onto my atrix and I'm still experiencing it shutting off.I have media share,files,music,and win amp on my ignore list of apps to be killed.
I know the music app depends on some other services to run what other services should I keep running?

I had the same exact problem and it became a real issue, so I bagged the native player and went with the free edition of PowerAMP. HUGE difference. First -- no random stoppage. Also -- an equalizer. It's really made the Atrix a more viable music player. That native player sucked, and DoubleTwist was just weird -- it would see the music in the internal storage, but not on the SD card.

 

[dalvik]

Yeahhh equalizer in powerAmp is really awesome.. and the player itself is highly costumizable its prolly the best one out there... and i tried a few of them...

I use Doubletwist and was considering switching to PowerAMP. The one thing I liked about Doubletwist was the desktop app for syncing with iTunes. Is there a good alternative?

 

[SnyperX]

You are such not required to use the doubletwist app if you use the desktop software. I use doubletwist for syncing and playlists but Poweramp for my playback.

One alternative to the desktop software is Miro.

I have been using Songbird and it works great on my atrix

Winamp user here. I had been experiencing the same issues as the OP. I want to give power amp a try next.

Ive heard of doubleTwist being good (and a great looking UI. Best looking there is). I just lurk here and not getting my atrix for another week but from everything I've heard doubleTwist has been great. And later on down the road when you get some extra cash, you can buy AirSync to wirelessly sync your content. Pretty cool
